Why Is the Arab World So Backwards?

[StonyArabia]

and they sucked in arab money for it, fair deal

The British companies control the oil. The only nation that got rid of them was Iraq, hence it was cursed. They came back with their Zionist masters to take it out.

They do have some good cultural practices it seems

What a boring performance.

I bet this is the equivalent to a porn movie out there.

I saw guys apparently masturbating.

Reasons: Islam, culture, climate, traditions, history and family inbreeding in villages.

The British companies control the oil? This sounds rather strange, considering that the Arab nations can build all those extremely expensive buildings although they have nothing but oil on which economical success could be based on.

LOL at least there not controlled by Zionists like your nation The government and companies might be, but the people are not, try to invade them and you will regret it I assure you. 50 years and Israel could not claim to have conquered Palestine. Oh I forgot at least they still have their armies.

I don't think Qatar, United Arab Emirates and Kuwait are so backwards, or Oman and Saudi Arabia in terms of GDP per capita at least. Qatar usually tops GDP per capita rankings in fact.

The 'relative' wealth of these nations will sink to the normal level of Arabia when their oil reserves are exhausted. They need guest workers from China or poorer Arab countries and architects/engineers from Europe to build and create such modern towns and buildings. They can't do it by themselves.

I wouldn't say that ALL arab countries are backwards....they are not all the same....for example...Lebanon....Islam wasn't really practiced that heavily until the Islamic revolution came from Iran in the 1970s...then a lot of the women started wearing more headscarfs, etc...

Um Israel has conquered "Palastine" rather easily and if it wasn´t for international pressure they probably would have driven all Arabs out of the Westbank. And even a coalition of several Arab nations were not able to destroy Israel, although they tried it repeatedly... Just saying from a neutral perspective...
I mean really, putting all culture, etc, aside, it is plain obvious that the Arab nations are hopelessly inferior to "the West" in terms of military strength.

They're backwards because they spend all their money for weapons.
Their leaders are corrupts.
